Bayer Leverkusen Slay Werder Bremen To Return To Bundesliga Summit
Strikes from Alex Grimaldo, Jeremie Frimpong and an own goal lifted Bayer Leverkusen to a 3-0 win at Werder Bremen on Saturday and a return to the top of the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso's men started the match in second place after Harry Kane scored in Bayern Munich's 1-0 victory over Cologne on Friday, but won comfortably and will end the weekend two points clear atop the table. Leverkusen have won 17 and drawn one of their 18 fixtures in all competitions this season.
